Saxo Bank, a Denmark-based forex and CFD trading services provider, has appointed Mads Dorf Petersen as its interim Chief financial Officer (CFO).
Petersen, who has been serving Saxo Bank for over 13 years, is stepping into the shoes of Mette Ingeman Pedersen who is leaving the brokerage after almost two years of serving as Group Chief Financial Officer.
Until the appointment, Petersen was the Head of Commercial Finance at Saxo Bank. He was also previously the Head of Strategic Finance.
The executive joined Saxo Bank in March 2009 as Head of Business Planning and Analysis after leaving Copenhagen Airports.
Over the years, Petersen acted as a Vice President, Senior Vice President and Deputy Head of Group Finance, and later Executive Director.
Before he became Head of Strategic Finance in December 2018, Petersen was the Chief Administrative Officer for Global Distribution and Sales and Client Services.
For over seven years, he served in various capacities with the Copenhagen Airports including as Chief Financial Executive between November 2007 and November 2008.
Speaking on Petersen’s appointment, Kim Fournais, CEO and Founder of Saxo Bank described the executive as a “strong leader”.
Fournais noted that Petersen will bring “a deep understanding of both the bank, our strategy and the finance and legal area” to the interim role.
The CEO thanked Mette “for her contribution to Saxo during the past year.”
“She has helped further develop Global Finance and Legal to become a stronger business partner and enabler of our strategy,” Fournais said of Mette
